Hi all,
Is there a way to force a nsIHTMLEditor to keep a span tag open when
this tag only contains a blank text node?
^: cursor
<span>X^</span>
After deleting the last character surrounded by the tag the cursor
disapears and there seems to be no way of re-inserting text into the
corresponding tag. I guess this is the case with all inline tags?
With block elements, a placeholder tags (<br type="_moz"
_moz_dirty=""/>) is inserted automatically that keeps the
corresponding element open.
I am currently adding the needed placeholder tags for inline elements
by hand but this looks like an ugly hack to me. Also, span tags
surrounded by a block element seem to require a block placeholder to
work correctly..
Is the auto-keep-open/close behaviour documented somewhere, including
where and when _moz_dirty tags are inserted during a transaction, or
can anyone give a short summary of how this stuff works?
I'am running Firfox 1.5 on OSX.
Thanks!
Thomas
